Natural Gas for Lehigh County Homes

If you live in Lehigh County and currently heat your home and water with oil, electricity, or propane, switching to natural gas could save you hundreds of dollars each year. Natural gas is not only cost-effective, but also a dependable and plentiful energy source.

Natural Gas Equipment

Natural gas is a versatile and efficient energy source that can heat your home and water, as well as power appliances like stoves, dryers, fireplaces, grills, and pool heaters.

Among the most widely used natural gas appliances today are furnaces, which boast efficiency ratings of up to 99% and typically last between 15 and 25 years. This makes them a smart choice for Lehigh County homeowners, especially during the colder months. Compared to oil, electric, or propane heating, natural gas furnaces can reduce heating costs by 30% to 85%, while also producing about 38% less carbon dioxide than comparable oil systems.

Additional natural gas equipment includes:

• Water heaters (including tankless)
• Pool heaters
